Looking hopeful, but early days yet.

The latest data point on the cumulative storage for Cape Town dams shows that inflows are now tracking the median value for the last 70 years. If the rains pick up even more, we could start beating the average, which is vital if we want make up the shortfall created by the last few years. If it falls back, then it is even more critical that we maintain a conservative approach to water usage well into next winter.
